Good riddance to UCP-1, imho. I was only taking the suggested dosage, on day 8 I quit taking it because I started to develop a mild rash (at the time I noticed it, just a patch near my armpit about the size of a dime). By the time it stopped spreading, 5 days later, it covered 95% of my body and I was taking so much benydryl I was hallucinating just to keep from scratching my skin off. My doctor finally put me on a bunch of cortical steroids to get it to stop. Six days of those, with thier own side-effects, before I could shower or sweat or have any pressure on my skin at all without it being extremely painful... and probably another two weeks after that before the whole thing resolved.
Also - now that I think about it - cripes, do you really want to be messing around with your mitochondria? Especially making them -less- efficient? Decreased mitrochondrial efficiency is, in fact, the major long-term side-effect of most anti-retroviral medication - and simulating AZT poisoning seems like a high price to pay for a little extra cut.
To each his own, of course. But be careful out there.
